See How Chess Moving Can Assist
New South Wales government have eased restrictions for double vaccinated individuals as of 18 October 2021 - excellent news for those who are looking forward to a residential or a commercial move and have been planning them for a while. As most Australian media has said for the past few weeks, if you're planning to travel interstate, you need to have double doses of the COVID-19 vaccine if you don't want to quarantine. If you plan to move interstate, you also need to have a double dose of the COVID-19 vaccination as mandated. So when you are ready to pack up and go, Chess Moving is here to help.
With Chess Moving, you get expert removalists who help you plan your move from start to finish. We know how much effort goes into a residential action, and if it's a commercial move you're looking to complete, we're here for that, too. Unfortunately, the pandemic has pushed back the plans of many, and whether you are moving for business or pleasure, you need to start making those plans again. Having the right removalists on your side is going to make planning your move an awful lot easier.

Rules for Residents returning to NSW
If you are coming back to NSW since the restrictions are easing, or you're moving within NSW, as long as you have not been in any affected areas or areas of serious concern in the 14 days before the move, you may enter NSW. You can come in without an NSW declaration form for entry, and you don't need to self-isolate.
Suppose you have been in any of the affected areas. In that case, you need to complete an NSW entry declaration within 24 hours of the movement into NSW. Once you arrive, you must go directly to your place of residence. You have to stay there unless you're getting food, essential services, travelling for work/education/childcare, or seeking medical care. You are also allowed to exercise outdoors. You have to stay in your place of residence for 14 days to prevent any possible transmission.
Suppose you have been in close contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19. In that case, you need to complete an NSW entry declaration within 24 hours before you enter NSW, and you have to also self-isolate. On the other hand, suppose you have been notified that you are in casual contact with someone infected with COVID-19. In that case, the state's rules mean that when you return to NSW, you have to complete a declaration within 24 hours and get immediately tested self-isolated until your tests are negative.
At Chess Moving, we're working to ensure that every single method of moving is covered by those who are sensitive to the COVID-19 crisis. You need to move to your new home, which means that you need to be aware of the rules. The rules are in place to keep everyone protected, whether that's you or us!
Rules for Non-Residents Entering NSW
Suppose you're currently living outside NSW and you are looking to enter. In that case, you need to follow strict guidelines to ensure that you aren't going to enter safely. Suppose you haven't been in a restricted area or an area of COVID-19 concern. In that case, you will be allowed to enter NSW without completing a traveller declaration form or self-isolating. If you have been to an affected area, you need to complete the NSW declaration within 24 hours. Once you are within NSW, you should stay at your residence unless you have a reason to leave, such as for food, services, work, education, childcare, medical care, moving home or exercising. Once 14 days are up, you're welcome to leave once again and enjoy your time in NSW.
The same rule on close contacts and casual contacts apply, too. If you've been to a place of grave concern, you should ensure that you know whether you are considered a casual contact or a close contact. If you have been considered a close contact, you may not enter NSW and must follow the rules of the state you are currently residing in. When you have been noted as a casual contact, you can enter NSW if you have been tested and your test is negative. You can keep a copy of the result to show if you need to, and you should complete the declaration when you enter NSW or before
